EVALUATION BOARD HARDWARE 

DEVICE DESCRIPTION 

This user guide describes the evaluation board for the 

AD7091

 

analog-to-digital converter.  
The 

AD7091

 is a 12-bit, ultralow power, successive approximation 

ADC. The 

AD7091

 operates from a single 2.09 V to 5.25 V 

power supply and is capable of achieving a throughput rate of 
1 MSPS. The 

AD7091

 also features an on-chip conversion clock 

and a high speed serial interface. 
The conversion process and data acquisition are controlled 

using a CONVST signal and an internal oscillator. The 

AD7091

 

has a serial interface allowing data to be read after the conver-
sion, while achieving a 1 MSPS throughput rate. The 

AD7091

 

uses advanced design and process techniques to achieve 
ultralow power dissipation at high throughput rates. The 
reference is taken internally from V

DD

Complete specifications for the 

AD7091

 are provided in the 

AD7091

 data sheet, available from Analog Devices, which 

should be consulted in conjunction with this user guide when 
using the evaluation board. 
Full details on the 

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 are available at 

online

HARDWARE LINK OPTIONS 

The functions of the link options are described in Table 2.  
The default setup is configured to operate the board with  
the main power supply adapter and to interface to the  

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 board. 

POWER SUPPLIES 

Care should be taken before applying power and signals to  
the evaluation board to ensure that all link positions are set 
according to the required operating mode. See Table 2 for the 
complete list of link options. 

This evaluation board is supplied with a wall-mountable 
switching power supply that provides a 9 V dc output. Connect 
the supply to a 100 V to 240 V ac wall outlet at 50 Hz to 60 Hz. 
The output from the supply is provided through a 2.0 mm inner 
diameter jack that connects to the evaluation board at J700. The 
9 V supply is connected to the on-board 3.3 V linear regulator 
that supplies the correct supply voltage to the board and the 

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 board.  

If the evaluation board is used without the 9 V adapter, an 
external power supply in the range of 7 V to 9 V must be 
connected to the J701 connector. When using this evaluation 
board with the 

EVAL-SDP-CB1Z

 board, it is necessary to power 

the board through the J700 or J701 connector.  
If supplies other than the on-board 3.3 V are required, an 
external power supply in the range of 2.09 V to 5.25 V must be 
connected to the VDD input via J702 to supply the 

AD7091

 V

DD

 

pin. Additionally, +5 V and −5 V should be supplied to 
connector J800 to supply the on-board amplifier circuits. 
Each supply is decoupled on this board using 10 µF tantalum 
and 100 nF multilayer ceramic capacitors.
